Simply input your postcode and vehicle registration into our quote generator and we'll get to work finding you a great price. You'll instantly see your scrap offers - based on weight and the rate for scrap metal - before we'll get in touch to discuss your car in greater detail.
2. Provide more details
When we call, you're given the opportunity to provide us with an accurate representation of your car. This allows us to recalculate your offer and see whether we can get you a better deal somewhere else, potentially even switching to a salvage offer if possible
3. Arrange collection
Once you've accepted an offer, we'll put you in touch with one of our trusted collection specialists who will arrange to come and remove your car.

What are the scrap car prices in Macclesfield?
Every scrap car price that we generate is based on the current rate for scrap metal across the nation, combined with the designated weight of your vehicle. We also take into account any local trends as well as getting more details from you on your specific car so we can tailor your quotes to your situation.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars must be recycled in line with environmental legislation and regulations. The vast majority of your car will be returned to its original materials, allowing these parts to be recycled elsewhere. Quite often, these materials are used again in the manufacturing process for new cars.
Can I sell an MOT failure or insurance write-off?
Yes, you can sell your car to Scrap Car Comparison in any condition at all. Even if it doesn’t run, we’ll quote you for it! Get a price for your broken down write off in seconds by entering your details now.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
While both are quite similar, the biggest difference is that salvage vehicles are stripped of reusable parts before being taken to the scrap pile. All these parts will then be sold on elsewhere as spare parts or used to repair other damaged vehicles. Because of this extra potential sale, salvage offers are often greater than a scrap quote.
How do I get the best price for my car?
Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.
But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.
Are you prices really guaranteed?
Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
